HC Deb 25 July 1985 vol 83 c650W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Attorney-General if he will now prosecute Mr. Jock Kane under the Official Secrets Act following the preparation by him of the manuscript for his proposed book "GCHQ: The Negative Asset"; and if he will make a statement.

The Attorney-General

No decision has yet been taken on whether criminal proceedings should be instituted against Mr. Kane. Civil proceedings to restrain him from publishing the manuscript of the proposed book or any part of it are still pending and Mr. Kane stands restrained in the meantime by an interlocutory injunction to that effect.
